Playing to Win

One thing I’ve learned, over the long haul (many years) practicing ESP is that some days nothing happens. Down-times: no hits whatsoever.

When you’ve been able, sporadically, to effect, communicate, even understand (on a deep level) the unspoken, you begin to expect this will happen all the time. Well, it doesn’t. In fact, some times the more I  “will” something to happen, the less likely it does.

For those reasons, I have a hard time following the famous psychics who guarantee results or messages (as Mediums) or who seem to receive a constant, steady stream of psi knowledge. My own experience, and that of my psychic friends, is that when you want to count on psi, a lot of the time, you come up empty. I have a friend who gambles and was able to use his intuition while playing video poker (he knew which machines were likely to pay off jackpots). He was able to build a healthy bankroll and earn a good living for several years, and then he hit the down-times. Machines just didn’t hit for him. He went for a long dry spell, and he began to doubt his psychic abilities. Lucky for him, he was a disciplined gambler, so he didn’t lose more than he could afford to spend.

But the down-times put him in a funk, and he began to search for answers through a variety of methods and mixes (including some so-called magic drugs). He hasn’t written me in several months, and as I follow his progress on the psychic site, I see he is still in down-time. This might be the longest dry period for him, ever.

I believe I might be in one, as well. Last night I had a dream which gave me a message: “Cooper Union“, which I am unable to translate. I can’t find a line to connect the dots between this message and its meaning. Frustrating!  The only thing I could think to do to jog the meaning was to list the two words here – just in case they come to mean something in the future. Art School? (well, I am way too old to apply). Abraham Lincoln and ending slavery? ( I am grateful for his wisdom, but I don’t see how it applies). I am drawing cold – a blank.

If I am the wallflower in the dance class,  I guess I’ll just sit this one out.
